The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. After-work summer parties in Grendon Underwood have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Organising for someone else?
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
What affects the price in Grendon Underwood
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Your choice of paellas
- Timings and hours
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The venue or postcode
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The date and rough timings
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field

Planning the cooking area
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
